Local authorities have a duty to ensure people including those with dementia receive appropriate care and support.<\/p>
Adult social care is a locally delivered system therefore local authorities are locally accountable for the delivery of care and support and retain significant discretion over how their functions are exercised. Different communities require different social care provision and local authorities are best placed to understand the needs of their constituents.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have given local authorities access to up to £3.9 billion more dedicated funding for adult social care this year, and a further £410 million is available for adults and children\u2019s services. The Government will set out plans to reform the social care system to ensure it is sustainable for the future at the earliest opportunity.<\/p>
